⚡️ Speed up function model_request_stream_sync by 41%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 41% (0.41x) speedup for model_request_stream_sync in pydantic_ai_slim/pydantic_ai/direct.py

⏱️ Runtime : 6.46 microseconds → 4.58 microseconds (best of 31 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

REFINEMENT Here is the optimized version of your provided code. The main bottleneck from the profiler is _prepare_model, which is called each time in model_request_stream and therefore in model_request_stream_sync. We can memoize (cache) the output of _prepare_model for each unique combination of (model, instrument) to avoid repeated work, since model instantiation and instrumentation can be expensive and are likely to be repeatedly called with the same arguments in most applications.

Other improvements.

• Avoid repeated creation of models.ModelRequestParameters() object when not needed.
• Move repeated attribute lookups out of the hot path.
• Cache function lookups locally.

Optimized code.

Key points about the optimization:

• Memoization: The _prepare_model is wrapped in an lru_cache (with small cache size by default; tune as you need).
• Fallback: If model is not hashable (e.g. a live Python instance), revert to the original code path.
• Avoid repeated attribute lookups and unnecessary object creation.

You can further tune the memoization size and key logic depending on the production workload and object hashability/uniqueness. The result will be both functionally identical and significantly faster under repeat calls, based on your profiling data.
